When New Orleans Police Detective Danny Fisher (John Cena) stops a brilliant thief, Miles Jackson (Aiden Gillen), from getting away with a multi-million-dollar heist, the thief’s girlfriend is accidentally killed. After escaping from prison, the criminal mastermind enacts his revenge, taunting Danny with a series of near-impossible puzzles and tasks… 12 rounds… that Danny must somehow complete to save the life of his fiancee.

Get your popcorn and soda before the movie starts, cause it’s one roller coaster ride from start to finish. John Cena is back in his sophomore explosive action-packed picture 12 Rounds. 12 Rounds is about a police officer named Danny Fisher (John Cena) who makes detective by putting a criminal mastermind named Miles Jackson (Aiden Gillen) behind bars. One year later, Danny gets a call from Miles about the incident Danny caused when he captured Miles & that was accidentally killing Miles girlfriend. When Miles reminds Danny about the incident, Miles comes into Danny’s life & threatens to take his wife Molly (Ashley Scott) away from him like he did to Miles lover. The only way Danny can get Molly back is to complete 12 dangerous challenges that Miles has set up all over New Orleans. Now, Danny must finish each task in time & get Molly back in one piece.

12 Rounds was a very surprising action movie to me. It has a great plot, great action & great acting that I didn’t see coming. The action sequences were shot very well which made them look so real. They were electrifying & exciting to watch. The camera was a bit shakey like in the Bourne Ultimatum but made the action come to life just like that movie’s action scenes did. As for the acting by John Cena. I have to tell you that John Cena really impressed me by his acting ability in this movie. John proves that he has what it takes to be an actor & action star. Aiden Gillen played a dirty & violent criminal. I’m not too familiar with this guy but he really did his thing & made a good appearance. It was just as good watching him act as Cena’s.

In this film, you get to root for the good & bad guy on screen which rarely happens in movies. I think John & Aiden stole this film. Between the two of them it was just so fantastic playing cat & mouse. I hope Cena & Gillen keep starring in films like this one because I think the two of them could have a big future in acting. Ashely Scott that I wasn’t too sure about did a great job too playing Molly. She was very believable showing emotion & anger. Everyone of the cast was outstanding in their own way, which made this movie that much more enjoyable.

The entertainment stand out as one of the most entertaining action movie Ive seen in a while since Live Free or Die Hard. Overall, 12 Rounds is worth paying to buy on DVD & Blu-Ray. If you like massive explosions, exhilarating car chases, or solid gunfights you’ll like 12 Rounds. If you into fighting, look somewhere else because this movie doesn’t contain that at all. It’s a fast-paced version of speed that keeps going & never stops. It’s an intense experience that you just want to experience all over again. 12 Rounds is a highly entertaining action adrenaline pumping fueled thriller with excellent storyline & mind blowing stunts.

The specific aspects of the Blu-ray:

The 12 Rounds Blu-ray Disc allows movie fans to enjoy the film in high definition format, delivering far more crisply detailed images than standard DVDs. The sounds of 12 Rounds Blu-Ray Disc is extraordinary.

The Audio and visuals of The 12 Rounds it definitely was pure amazement to watch it on Blu-Ray cause everything about the disc was on point. It felt like a theater at my home especially since I have surround sound speakers and a large 56 inch Samsung flat screen TV. LOL
